Why have a Congress at all if it Ignores Our Needs
12.28.09 – Peter Stern – In Detroit unemployment is reaching a staggering 50 percent. The unemployment rate in other states also is escalating dramatically. Still, our Congress does little to resolve the issue.
It would be simple enough to issue tax reduction incentives to businesses who wish to expand their enterprises by providing jobs to unemployed Americans.
Equally, it is easy for the government to develop federal jobs to build, repair, and maintain our depreciating infrastructures, e.g., bridges, tunnels, highways, dams, etc.
So, why are the President and Congress opting to do nothing? Why continue massive unemployment throughout the nation?
Apparently, the first priority of our Congress is to placate the needs and whims of wealthy special interests who contribute huge campaign dollars.
The unemployed need to contact President Obama and their Congressional representatives and demand jobs. It is the number 1 priority of this nation to ensure that every American has work.
Bottom-line is that there is no reason for the continuing high unemployment throughout the U.S. Congress can and should start the chain of events that will cure the massive unemployment problem. Americans must demand Congress to resolve it.
The only thing Americans can do is for all the unemployed to rise up like a giant Tsunami and demand Congress to resolve the unemployment issue. Phone calls, letters, emails! And keep on banging down the doors until it is dealt with. There is no other way.
